Myinvention relates toa valve controlling device'such as is shown and"describedv in my application Serial No.` 595,702-iledV by me October 19, 1922, ofjwhich the present =6 application is a division; .y

' In the accompanying drawings which illustrate one form of valve controlling de# vice made' iny accordancevwith my invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation, the upper part being shown in' section; Figure 2 is an en-V larged sectionv taken on the line 2-2 of.

`Figure 3; Figure 3 is a side elevationtaken at right anglesV to Figure 1; and Figure 4,V is an enlargedsection taken on theline 4 -4' wofFigure2.v c

' 1 indicates a tubular support carried by a base 2. Secured to the -support l'rat a Y point intermediate of its lengthfis a bracket .3 carrying a table 4 upon which iis secured the pressure controlled device not shown. The support 1 is divided into'compartments y'by a pair of partition walls 5spaced apartA by a filler block 6; `By this arrangement I provide a simple, neat and inexpensive.y mee' chanlcal construction 1n which the` weight,

stop member, and their attached cables (all hereinafter described) Vwill be effectivelyr /separated so that they will not interfere with each other 'during the operation ofthe device. Arranged inthe central'ompart: ment is a stop member 7 provided `with an inclined face 8, which face cooperates with Y fa correspondingface 9 carried by a detent 10. Thedetent 10 is pivoted to the support l4 atll` and is retained in normal position by an antifriction roller 12. The Yroller.12 is carried by an arm 13 pivoted at 14 and pro'V vvided with adown-turnedend 15, by means of which the arm isactuated to release the scribed. *AV spring 30 returns the arm 13 to normal position. Attached to the lowery end of the stopmember 7 is acable 16 which passes downwardly,around`a sheave 17 and y thence upwardly and around a second sheave Y 18. Theend of the cablel is secured to a lever 19for operating a throttleervalver20` in the `supply pipe 25.

Van actuating Aweight 22 vis rsecured to' the lever'19: and passes through a guide 23.-

A rod 21 :carrying stop member, as will be khereinafter del-"v v upper end of the stop member 7 and extends Serial No. 73,463.

ferred to, operates-.on the down-turned endl .15 ofithexarm 13 lto rockV said arm on its; 'pivot 14 and thus move the rollerl2 out of contact rwith the detent 10. .'Thlis'releases the stop member 7 and consequentlyk frees;

the weight 22 so that it may close thevalve 20. It will be understood that the weight 22 is of suticient mass to overcome not only the resistance of the lweight`28 but also the friction of all the movablev parts. lTo reset l the device it is only necessary toraise-the vvweight22, so that theweight` 28 may returnV Y. Y, the parts to normal position and yat the same time to swing the roller "12 down so .that the detent 10` mayengage the Vstop 7 Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United Statesis 1.*In a deviceof the class described, the

combination with a tubular ,support divided into a plurality of compartments, of a stop Imember in' one ofv said' compartments, a ilex-v ible member extendingfroih said stop mem- 'ber andadaptedtocontrol avalve, a secondi' flexible connection extending from said stop,V Inember, anda weight carried by said secondY named l'flexible Vconnection Vand situated in v anotherv compartment.

x2. In a device of the 4class described, the

combination with asupport, of astop member carried thereby, a detent cooperatingl with said nstop member, a flexible rvmember orsY extending from said stop memberand adapts e edto control avvalve, a second flexible memmember.

" A3. In a device of the class described, the Y combination' with a tubular support divided into a plurality of compartments, ofl a stop member in one of saidcompartments, a de-V tent lcooperating with said stop member, a flexible member extending Afrom said stop member and adapted to` control avalve, a

second flexible member extending from said stop member, and a weight carried by said second named lexible member and situated in another compartment.

4. In a device of the class described, ythe combination with a support, of a stop member carried thereby and provided with an inclined face, a detent having an inclined face cooperating with the face on saidY stop member, an arm controlling said detent, a connection extending from vsaid stop member and adapted to actuateva valve, and means for returning the stop member to normal position'. Y

5. In a device of the class described, Vthe combination with a tubular cylindrical supn port, ofa pair of partitions -in said sup'- port, a stop member between said partitions, a valve connected to said stop member, and a weight connected tosaid stop member for returning it to normal position when the valve is reset.

6. In a device of the class described, the combination with a tubular cylindrical sup port, of a pair of partitions dividing said support into acentral and two lateral comand a weight inone of the lateral compart- 1nents,"said weight being Connected to said stop member Vto return it to normal position when the valve is reset.

7. ln a device of the class described, the combination with a tubular cylindrical support, of a pair ofl partitions dividing said support into a central and two lateralcompartments, la stop member in the central compartment yand v provided with an Vinclined tace, a detent provided with an inclined face cooperating with the tace on said stop member, an arm controlling said. detent, a connection extending from said stop member and adapted to control a valve, and a weight in one` or' the lateral compartments, said weight being connected to said stop mem-` ber to return itqto normal position when the valveis reset.
